$650 Require VERY Tolerant Roommate in Venice
Date: 2008-07-04, 2:00AM PDT
ROOMMATE/GIRLFRIEND TO SHARE APARTMENT 30 year old male seeks attractive, attentive, and responsible girlfriend to share Venice Beach apartment beginning August 1st, 2008. This small one-bedroom apartment is located on Ocean Front Walk and has excellent south and east views with direct access to the beach. The successful candidate will be female, very attractive, intelligent, career-oriented, financially and psychologically stable, with a minimum of emotional baggage. Must be willing to share a bed. Must also be willing to have a committed, physically intimate relationship with an unkempt, withdrawn, grumpy, impoverished, self-absorbed jazz musician. Should be competent in dealing with a multitude of negative personality traits, including alcoholism, poor financial management skills, emotional unavailability, moodiness, laziness, and complete lack of fashion sense. Please include headshots along with email inquiries. Include a statement about why you would be a good candidate to live with (and love) an asshole like me.

Could be a joke. But if there's a guy out there in Venice who really is searching for a roommate - oh, wait...it's reverse psychology. I get it now. I love LA - not.
